when the blender is overloaded. Unplug the blender and
place the Motor Base in a well-ventilated area, allowing
it to cool down for 45 minutes. Try removing some of the
ingredients before continuing to blend.
• Make sure the Lid is closed tightly during blending to
prevent liquid from splashing out.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the Pitcher while the motor
is running to prevent injuries or damages.
• When making hot food, it is highly recommended to start
at a low setting and gradually increase the speed setting,
or simply use the “Pulse” mode.
• When making sauces, stufng, etc., add 2-3 cups of
ingredients at a time. Keep the blending time below
2 minutes to prevent the motor from overloading or
overheating. If the motor stops abruptly, allow the motor
temperature to decrease before continuing to blend.
• Always place soft or liquid ingredients in the blender
before adding hard ingredients or ice cubes.
• Wait until the blades come to a complete stop before
removing the Pitcher. If not done accordingly, the drive
gear may become damaged.
• If a burning odor comes from the blender, shut the
appliance off immediately. This may be caused by
abrasion of the rubber feet on the Motor Base. Make sure
that the rubber feet are stable and that the appliance is
properly assembled.
• If the blades become jammed during the blending
process, use the Tamper to stir the food in the Pitcher,
allowing air to escape. Close the Lid tightly and continue
to blend.
• When blending tough or sticky foods, begin blending at
a low speed. If the blender does not mix the ingredients
to your preference, disconnect the appliance and use
a spoon or spatula to incorporate the ingredients and
release any captured air in the Pitcher. Close the Lid and
continue blending.

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge

by improper use of the appliance.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not completely t in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
